TWELVE FAVORITE DRIES

Pictures would add a lot to these instructions. Why not take advantage of the simple technology to do this? These are supposed to be instructive, not a contest of skills...
As we stated when we first started running them, Tom had a bunch of fliers that were handed out at his classes, etc. Tom graciously is allowing us to put them on the web, but the fliers predate the easy inclusion of photos.
Hence I've been asking the tiers at FOAL that actually tie one to send in a pic of the result, so I can add it to the article. Remember FAOL is a community site and this is a great way for someone to contribute.
Hopefully someone will take pity on me and actually include some pics, at which time I will go back and modify the web page to include it. (with a caption of photo by...) Thanks...

One of the "funnest" fly tying/exchanges/swaps I was in had us tying flies from Keith Perrault's book "Standard Dictionary of Fishing Flies". No pictures. Tied 'em as we "saw" 'em. Amazing how similar the flies turned out!!
Would mention Ron, the front page indicates they are "Eric's favorite flies".
Thanks, fixed.
I really hate being a space cadet sometimes...
Lets call it a senior moment and pretend I didn't do that ;)
i think the hardest part of the recipes is finding the scintilla dubbing. i dont think its been made for quite awhile.
Normand,
Your right. Haven't seen that dubbing around for some time. Is there a seret stash somewhere?

The West Laramie Fly Shop has a pretty good supply on hand!
Where are the photos?
Pretty sure I love that place! We hunt antelope just north of Laramie, and the fly shop/gas station is always a stop we make. I bought a sweet little 3-wt there last trip!Quote:
